I know you guys do it but we are contractually required to have a passenger seat for crew movements. Generally this is the standard for most carriers. We consider the jumpseat a resource for commuting pilots not a company owned deadhead tool. Once we start giving that up we will never get it back.
That doesn't change the fact that the jumpseats were available, and 3 revenue passengers got left behind, and I have never seen that at Frontier. Thus my point about the operation being better if the E190's were on the Frontier certificate with Frontier crews. At the same time, I fully understand the deadheading crew not being willing to help out, given the treatment that they get on that side of the fence (no pun intended).
